Brigit Hassig, Executive Director of Four Pointes and Denny Swartout of Harbor Transit join me as we discuss the need to and desire for all of us to “Shape up Fast”.

Shaping up is fun and good for all of us!

Two of my closest Grand Haven friends and I discuss an article from the Wall Street Journal titled, “We All Need to Shape Up Fast”, written by noted author Jason Gay.  And having two really active engaged people to share this with is good radio ‘Fo-Sho’!

Join Four Pointes, get a ride from Harbor Transit!

In the article it is stated that 1 in 4 Americans did not exercise in the past YEAR!

Ugh!

Not to be a preacher man or anything but this is frightening to say the least.  And being a talk show host, well that kind of lends itself to the direction of talking about and sharing, I like to think preaching is counter-productive.

Join my pals and I as we solve the problems of this ‘lack of movement’ issue, I can just wind up Denny and Brigit she needs no winding at all, and please listen as we cover the following-

  • More than a quarter of the U.S. population-28%- did not participate in a single activity last year
  • Fun
  • Being totally sedentary is a quick road to the cemetery
  • Fun
  • How Four Pointes has seen incredible growth
  • Fun
  • Getting there with Harbor Transit is easy and inexpensive
  • Fun
  • Socialization and group fitness and activities
  • Fun
  • Group activities, led by membership is driving fun

Season 4 Episode 28, May 2nd, 2015       matt banner_Final

 

How many people really are the experts when it comes to everything ‘Paleo’?  At least one that is for sure and his name is Dr. Loren Cordain, retired Professor with the Department of Exercise Science, College of Applied Human Science, Colorado State University and  the world’s foremost authority on the evolutionary basis of diet and disease.  Dr. Cordain has now published the only Paleo cookbook you will ever need, “The Real Paleo Diet Cookbook”.real-cookbook

Our Boomers Rock Local guest is our great friend from Harbor Transit, Denny Swartout.  We discuss many of the positive attributes you will find with utilizing Harbor Transits services.  Staying mobile is a major factor in successful aging, and cost effective transportation will enable you to have that mobility factor.  Harbor Transit has not had a fare increase since 2006 and their network of service area continues to grow to serve the Tri-Cities.harbor_transit_01

Many of us still do not get the whole ‘Paleo’ thing!  If you are one of those who does not understand or perhaps know not a thing about it, you really need to listen to Dr. Cordain.  When on average we Americans consume 70% of our caloric intake with four foods (sugar, white flour, oils and dairy) Loren will enlighten us all to how to shop, eat and cook in a way that will enable the QOL we all desire.

Denny Swartout shares many positive attributes of mass transit in West Michigan’s Tri-Cites, how drivers develop relationships with their customers and with Harbor Transit’s services keep us all connected.  Denny also shares his insight on personal values of how to stay connected through volunteering, activities and your place of worship.
